No, Margulis' book will not help you with this. | |

Morris' note about covers of $Sp(2n,\mathbb{Z})$ in $Sp(2n,\mathbb{R})$ is very interesting, but it is not a counter-example since I required above that $G/\Gamma$ is compact. So my question now reduces to the case where $G$ is non-linear. Does an expert knowledge of Margulis' book shed any light on this? | |
